[Bulla flips the feed on, a thoughtful look on her face as she speaks.]

You know, as much as being suddenly being brought here is a major inconvenience to people, it’s amazing that multiversal places like this exist, isn’t it? You have the chance to meet so many people you’d never get to meet otherwise, and see things that no one else on your world has seen. Or almost no one else, if you’re lucky enough to have someone from your world here with you.

[She’d like to go home, but she honestly can’t say that she regrets winding up here or in the previous place she was in.]

I wonder how many others are out there.



[Private to Bulma, Trunks, Mai & Goku]
(ooc note: Immediately after Bulla’s run in with Bakugou)

My friend is investigating a theft problem and dyed his hair blue to go undercover. Is it okay if he pretends to be a Brief for a while? Um...also, he needs a place to stay.


[Private to 18]

Hi! I was wondering if you’d be willing to train with me. I thought we could go shopping after.



(ooc note: If you want an action prompt, just send me a PM and I’ll set one up in the comments below!)

Private Text to Bulma, Bulla, Mai, Goku

[light_of_willpower]

I'm presuming you want him to stay with us--but where would he be? I'm on the couch, and every other bedroom is taken. (You're in my old room, baby sister :-p )

Group private text

[fashionably_strong]

I was thinking of getting an air mattress. I don't think it will take too long, but someone is stealing from the hospital and I thought it was good that he's trying to investigate.

Re: Group private text

[light_of_willpower]

....that sounds okay, but it also begs the question of who's the friend?

Group private text

[fashionably_strong]

That's the more difficult part. It's Katsuki Bakugou. I understand if you don't want him to stay with us considering your fight. Even saying "Yes, he's related to us" if anyone asks would be helpful. I just really wanted to help because I'm the one who told him he should try being a paramedic.

Action, Closed to Orihime

[fashionably_strong]

[They’d sparred for a while, and now it’s time to cool off with smoothies at the mall. Bulla is also hungry, so she’s bought herself three foot-long sandwiches. No, she’s not bringing any of them home. This is all for her. Her family’s grocery bill is consistently high with two half-saiyans and one full blooded saiyan in the house, plus two healthy adult women.]

That was fun! We should make sparring a regular thing.

[And now to veer entirely off topic, because there’s something she’s been wondering about since the day they were at the Dream Docks helping Aizawa.]

So...I couldn’t help but notice that you blushed around Ichigo before.

[Maybe it’s a little meddlesome of her, but her intentions are friendly and benign.]

Re: Action, Closed to Orihime

[leekspins]

[Most people would be astonished at Bulla's appetite. Orihime is effing pleased. It means she won't get gawked at for eating a couple of bento boxes, and she just grins cheerfully when Bulla picks up her order. Teenage girls need to eat!]

[The smoothie is pretty much dessert at this point, and Orihime is enjoying hers, nodding vigorously to Bulla's suggestion.]

I'd like that! I got a really good workout. And I think my reflexes are getting a little better too, thank you!

[She takes a pull from her straw, but that proves to be a mistake. Orihime promptly chokes and sputters out bits of mango and pineapple.]

Th-that...! I was just embarrassed at being carried, it's not like that!

[Sure it isn't. That's why, even as she waves her hand dismissively, her face is as red as Bulla's hairband.]

I'm kind of heavy for my size, s-so...

[fashionably_strong]

[If anything, Bulla is glad that Orihime has a healthy appetite. She feels a little less self-conscious about how big hers is. Although she's confident enough to own it and move on, it is something that separates her from others.

Bulla watches Orihime's reaction, and...bingo.]

Are you sure? No judgement here. I can see why you'd be interested in him. He's a nice person, athletic, smart enough to work as a nurse, and not bad to look at, either.

[She holds out her pinky.]

I'll pinky-swear to not tell him if you are!

[leekspins]

[Orihime hasn't stopped walking, but the hangdog pleading look she directs at Bulla would confirm anyone's suspicions about her feelings. Her cheeks are still burning. What can she say to that? The crush is still there, and it's not something she's proud of. Her gaze moves forward and drops slightly as she wrestles with the decision of whether or not to confess.]

Mngh...

[Bulla promising not to tell does ease her fears somewhat. She doesn't want Ichigo to find out about it, or he'll be burdened with her feelings. He might even feel pressured to return them just because he's so nice and awesome, and the absolute last thing she wants is a relationship based on obligation. So if she just stays quiet and keeps it to herself, he won't find out.]

[But...she's been bottling up so much for so long, and the chance to finally spill her guts to someone who's proven to be a really good friend so far is breaking her down.]

Bulla-chan is very observant...

[She still isn't lifting her head, but her hand lifts, and her drink-cooled pinky shyly hooks Bulla's.]

It's complicated. He loves someone else, so I know I shouldn't. I'm trying not to.

[priceofmagic]

Right? It's crazy to think there are so many different worlds out there. I wonder how much they have in common, if anything at all?

video

[fashionably_strong]

Some things seem to be pretty standard in many universes, at least. Like different worlds have different standards for how people should dress, but I never met anyone from a universe of nudists.

[Thankfully. That would have been awkward.]

video

[ubiquitously]

[And here is Uai, to shamelessly tl;dr about his timespace hopping.]

More worlds than a human brain can comprehend. Not only are there many different worlds, but there are multiple versions of every world. And then all of those different universes are grouped into different omniverses.

From what I've gathered, I think it's safe to assume many of us don't even share an omniverse in common.

[fashionably_strong]

[Someone knowledgeable about a topic that Bulla wants to study! Yay!]

How many have you been to?

[ubiquitously]

Hmmm. Hundreds at this point?

My duty "back home" is to guard something called the Grande Library. It's a dimensional plane where all other universes, and their worlds and timelines, are stored as books. I help protect them, and occasionally go to solve problems.

Are you a traveler as well?

[gamerrep]

It is amazing. Even after being here for nearly two years I find myself still learning new things.

[And it's not like she has anywhere else to be really.]

[fashionably_strong]

Every universe has different ways of doing things...and I think people can gain a lot of insight from that.

[gamerrep]

What kind of insight do you mean exactly?

video;

[devilishkaoru]

I wonder just how many fashion disasters can exist.

[Because that was important.]

video;

[fashionably_strong]

[That gets a laugh out of her.

Probably millions, Kaoru! Can your eyes handle it?

video;

[devilishkaoru]

I think I would faint if I saw that many in one place.

[Private]

[hot_handed]

Did you talk to them?

[Private]

[fashionably_strong]

Just help out a little with doing the dishes and some food prep and it's fine. My family's pretty easygoing about stuff like this.

Re: [Private]

[hot_handed]

Whatever.

I'll cook if I have to. I refuse to be a burden to you, Blue Hair.

[Private video]

[4starsaviour]

Sure, I guess! [At first, Goku isn't sure why he's being asked (he's not a Brief, so he figures it doesn't matter to him), but he does realize that they'd be living together, so that's something.]

So who's your friend?

[Private video]

[fashionably_strong]

His name is Katsuki Bakugou. He really wants to be a professional hero. He's really proud and has a temper kind of like Dad's.

[Private video]

[4starsaviour]

...Wait, I think I remember him! Wasn't he the one who wanted to fight everyone at those debates a while back?

[Goku had zoned out for most of it, but when fighting was mentioned, that got his attention.]
